Installed Windows 11 and I can't do anything in it. The disgusting design of the windows and their white/or dark color really ruin my eyes, I literally can't look at the monitor no matter how I adjust the brightness.
Is there any way to return the window design from Windows 10, 8 or 7?
Help please

Switch to dark mode and change wallpaper, lol.

you literally just have to pretend you are an undead human and then you can use windows 11 properly

Use Linux

I usually just right-click on the start button and start typing things, save the file manager, browser and a handful of other apps like game clients and terminal emulators like MobaXterm or WSL2

but you can do quite a bit to change things to your liking, some examples:

You can massively make over it's exterior easily with this:

But instead of playing whack-a-mole with constantly battling all it's issues it would be easier just to upgrade to Linux.

Perhaps start with Mint- probably Cinnamon.
